So with the summer in full swing...I've decided to blog about some of my favorite summer dinners. No one wants to stay inside over a hot stove while their family is out on the deck with a cold drink in their hands!! During the summer, I am in love with my grill.
My brother Dan introduced this recipe to me a few summers ago and now I can't stop making it!!! With healthy veggies, lean chicken, and whole wheat pita pockets...this is a flavorful and healthy summer go to!!
This serves 4 people…
3 large Chicken Breasts, cut into pieces
2-3 Small Zucchini Squash, cut into 1 in pieces
2-3 Red, Yellow, or Orange Bell Peppers cut into 2 in pieces
12-15 White Mushrooms (stems removed)
1 bottle of Trader Joe's Greek Feta Dressing
1 bottle of Trader Joe's Greek Goddess Dressing
4 Pita Pockets (I usually cut them in half so people can have 2)
Hummus
Feta Cheese
Wooden Skewers
Put the skewers in a baking dish and cover with water and soak for 2-3 hours (this will keep them from burning)
Cut the chicken and cover with the Feta Dressing…set aside for at least an hour.
Mix all of the cut veggies together with the Goddess Dressing…set aside for at least an hour.
Skewer all the chicken together and all the veggies together.
BBQ the chicken for 3-4 mins on all four sides (or until 165*)
BBQ all of the veggies until they are cooked through with some grill marks.
I usually heat the pita pockets on the grill once I turn it off. Remove all of the veggies and chicken, retrieve the pita pockets, and serve with Hummus, Tzatziki, Kalamata Olive Spread, and Feta cheese for people to make their own little sandwiches!
